Mido Racing Against Time

Zamalek club striker Mido is now racing against time to be fit for the upcoming game against Smouha in the Egyptian league the next Thursday.

Mido - who scored his first goal against Ghazl Mahalla - has been ruled out of Zamalek’s last two league fixtures after sustaining a groin injury prior to the 1-1 draw against Gaish last Monday.

“I will return to full training by Monday, I hope to be fit for Smouha match,” the 28-year-old told FilGoal.com.

“The decision whether to feature or not is down to the management, I’m always keen to be in top form so that I would be ready whenever I’m called into action.”

In the same context, Zamalek striker Hussein Hamd is undergoing a rehabilitation program after shaking off a back complaint, while midfielder Ahmed Al-Merghany resumed light training following a groin problem.

Zamalek said that manager Hassan Shehata will decide on the injured trio on Tuesday.

The Whites are currently second in the league table with a game in hand against Wadi Degla, postponed from the first week of the domestic competition.
